  1. Yes, but if we stop buying fossil fuels from them, how are hardworking warmongers supposed to fund their wars?
    Also, said warmongers need to mine the seabed to extract materials to make more weapons to keep their wars going. (and we know mining and windfarms cannot coexist, so...)

    #EnvironmentalGroups sue #Trump’s #EPA over repeal of landmark #climate finding

    Lawsuit from #health and #EnvironmentalJustice groups challenges the EPA’s rollback of the ‘endangerment finding’

    "More than a dozen health and environmental justice non-profits have sued the Environmental Protection Agency over its revocation of the legal determination that underpins US federal climate regulations.

    "Filed in Washington DC circuit court, the lawsuit challenges the EPA’s rollback of the '#EndangermentFinding', which states that the buildup of heat-trapping #pollution in the atmosphere endangers #PublicHealth and welfare and has allowed the EPA to limit those emissions from #vehicles, #PowerPlants and other #industrial sources since 2009. The rollback was widely seen as a major setback to US efforts to combat the #ClimateCrisis.

    "The suit was brought by the American Public Health Association [#APHA], #AmericanLungAssociation, the #CenterForBiologicalDiversity, the #EnvironmentalDefenseFund, the #NaturalResourcesDefenseCouncil [#NRDC], the #SierraClub and 11 other public health and environmental organizations. The lawsuit was filed by green legal organizations #CleanAirTaskForce and #Earthjustice and it names the EPA and the agency’s administrator, #LeeZeldin, as defendants.

    " 'EPA’s repeal of the endangerment finding and #safeguards to limit vehicle emissions marks a complete dereliction of the agency’s mission to protect people’s health and its legal obligation under the #CleanAirAct,' said #GretchenGoldman, president and CEO at the #UnionOfConcernedScientists, another one of the groups behind the lawsuit. 'This shameful and dangerous action by the Trump administration and EPA Administrator Zeldin is rooted in falsehoods not facts and is at complete odds with the public interest and the best available science.'

    INDIGENOUS SOLUTION TO THE WORLD’S PROBLEMS.

    THIS IS INDIAN CRISIS SURVIVAL BULLETIN NO. 7 OF APRIL 1984

    OF MOHAWK VISIONARY THE LATE KARONIAKTAJEH

    REPUBLISHED BY MOHAWK NATION NEWS ON FEB. 14, 2026

    AS A VALENTINE PRESENT TO THE WORLD.

    Excerpt: "White man says his is a government of the majority. It has also been said that that the majority of the people of the world are fools and that the wise and intelligent are in the minority. This makes the majority government a government of fools. But sez you: The majority of the world is controlled by a minority of oppressive exploiters which makes the majority government actually a minority government, and so it’s a government of both fools and the clever #exploiters with the latter running the show.

    "The standing army is the arm of the government and trained to protect and defend the system, not the people. The government uses the people, though the army are of the people. The government creates laws designed to defend and protect the government from the people and the police departments are established to enforce the laws, again using some of the people whom they first alienate by indoctrination from the other people in order to put a division into the system. The exploited people are required to pay enormous taxes to pay the costs of these institutions, the government, the standing army and the sitting police departments."

  7. From pro-climate Republican to ‘one of the #Trump disruptors’

    #EPA Administrator #LeeZeldin's attacks on his agency's spending and regulations have made him a rising star in the Trump Cabinet, but left some former colleagues mystified.

    By Hannah Northey, Emily Ngo, Josh Siegel and Miranda Willson
    04/06/2025

    Excerpt: "[O]thers who have known Zeldin wonder what happened to the middle-of-the-road lawmaker they once knew, who acknowledged that humans were warming the Earth and bucked Trump’s first administration on offshore oil drilling.

    " 'He’s really turned out to be a chameleon in the political landscape,' said Adrienne Esposito, executive director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment, who is based in Zeldin’s former congressional district. 'He’s always had higher political aspirations, and I believe he has his eyes set on the White House.”

    "Green groups on the island say they feel betrayed by the slash-and-burn style Zeldin is bringing to EPA. Sea-level rise poses a serious threat to the low-lying coastal region he calls home, and he had expressed support over the years for shifting to #RenewableEnergy — in contrast to Trump’s pro-#FossilFuel agenda. As a lawmaker, he belonged to the bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus and the Conservative Climate Caucus, two blocs that recognize the need to address #GlobalWarming."

  9. “Devastating”: #Trump #EPA to Scrap Landmark #Climate Finding in Pro-#FossilFuel #Deregulatory Push

    #DemocracyNow, February 11, 2026

    "In a victory for the fossil fuel industry, a set of Obama-era rules that required the federal government to regulate the emissions of six #GreenhouseGases is being reversed by the Trump administration. The changes would undo the legal basis of the fight against global warming, as well as remove #industrial reporting obligations and roll back #emissions standards for cars and trucks. Environmental engineer Gretchen Goldman helped author those emission standards while working for the Department of Transportation under the Biden administration. Now as the president of the #UnionOfConcernedScientists, she says their repeal will not only increase what drivers pay at the pump but also set U.S. innovation back on the world stage. 'We’re really seeing the abdication of U.S. leadership on climate, and that has huge implications, both for our immediate ability to reduce heat-trapping emissions globally … but also in terms of our standing and contribution in the world.'

  10. Who needs #BioLabs when there's all sorts of #bacteria about to be exposed after thousands of years!

    Researchers issue warning after making grim #Antarctic discovery: 'We are only beginning to understand'

    Story by Daysia Tolentino, January 29, 2026

    Excerpt: "A study published in the journal #Biocontaminant examined the effects of #GlacialMelting on our #WaterSupply.

    "#Glaciers serve as reservoirs for #AntibioticResistanceGenes, or #ARGs, and other #microbes. When they are released from the ice, they enter our water systems, posing a major health risk to people downstream.

    "Millions of people get their water from glacier-fed rivers and lakes. ARGs are strands of DNA that make bacteria more resistant to drugs. When ARGs in #meltwater make their way into our water supply, they become a global public health risk.

    "The study emphasizes the importance of viewing glaciers, rivers, and lakes as being part of a 'glacier continuum.' This means they are an interconnected system rather than separate environments.

    Why are melting glaciers concerning?

    "From our gas-powered cars to #overconsumption, human activity has contributed to the production of heat-trapping gases that warm the planet. Rising global temperatures have caused glaciers to rapidly melt, causing elevated sea levels and releasing ARGs.

    "ARGs from melting glaciers are worrisome because they help facilitate the spread of diseases. This threat is compounded by the fact that our growing #microplastic problem is also helping #AntibioticResistant #bacteria breed. As a result, #medicines are being rendered less effective."

  11. 2025 was one of three hottest years on record, scientists say

    By Alexa St. John
    Dec. 30, 2025 6 AM PT

    "#ExtremeWeather events kill thousands of people and cost billions of dollars in damage annually.

    "#WWA scientists identified 157 extreme weather events as most severe this year, meaning they met criteria such as causing more than 100 deaths, affecting more than half an area’s population or leading to a state of emergency being declared. Of those they closely analyzed 22.

    "That included dangerous #HeatWaves, which the WWA said were the world’s deadliest extreme weather events this year. The researchers said some of the heat waves they studied were 10 times more likely than they would have been a decade ago because of #ClimateChange.

    " 'The heat waves we have observed this year are quite common events in our climate today, but they would have been almost impossible to occur without human-induced climate change,' Otto said. 'It makes a huge difference.'
    Prolonged drought contributed to #wildfires that scorched #Greece and #Turkey. Torrential rains and #flooding in #Mexico killed dozens of people and left many more missing. #SuperTyphoon #FungWong slammed the #Philippines, forcing more than a million people to evacuate. #Monsoon rains battered #India with floods and landslides.

    "The WWA said the increasingly frequent and severe extremes threatened the ability of millions of people across the globe to respond and adapt to those events with enough warning, time and resources, what the scientists call 'limits of adaptation.' The report pointed to #HurricaneMelissa as an example: The storm intensified so quickly that it made forecasting and planning more difficult, and pummeled #Jamaica, #Cuba and #Haiti so severely that it left the small island nations unable to respond to and handle its extreme losses and damage.

    Our remaining windmills are unashamedly romantic slices of old England. Last spring, those still working went into overdrive to meet local demand for flour, reports Eleanor Doughty.

  13. Those damn cycleways are such a waste of money...

    Oh wait.
    This is a motorway built as a private public partnership, with a very poor business case, and which has needed repairs from day 1, but that did make a few people a lot of money.

    I guess it's OK then.

  14. Local media is dropping the ball (again) by mostly failing to connect the extreme weather we've been experiencing to climate change, accelerated by methane and carbon emissions.

    In NZ, the biggest source of pollution is agriculture and specifically the dairy industry, followed by transport.

    The current government is failing to address this issue, and quite the opposite, making it much worse by bowing to the industry.

    This connection needs to be made explicit.
    Things will keep getting worse, infrastructure will need to be rebuilt over and over again, homes will be lost, and lives will be broken until we take meaningful action to rework our economy, energy and transport.

    The climate crisis is here and our heads are still in the sand.

  15. Large parts of New England are facing #WaterRestrictions amid rare #drought conditions

    Ayesha Rascoe, October 5, 2025

    "RASCOE: When you think of droughts, the first place that comes to mind probably isn't New England, but a dry summer has led to low water levels in large parts of Massachusetts. Most of the state is under significant drought conditions, and that means water restrictions and an increased risk of brush fires. To talk about this and when it may end, we turn to Ken Mahan. He's the lead meteorologist at The Boston Globe. Welcome to the program.

    KEN MAHAN: Thanks for having me, Ayesha.

    RASCOE: How bad are these drought conditions throughout the state right now?

    MAHAN: So the entire state as a whole is running what we call abnormally dry, which means that we've seen a prolonged period of precipitation reaching substantially below average. The Capes specifically are in a level of severe and moderate drought, and along Route 2 in northern Massachusetts is in a moderate drought as well, all stemming from the beginning of summer after a rather wet spring. But yes, this is becoming more common, and unfortunately, we've seen back to back and now back summers where we've seen less than average precipitation across the state.

    RASCOE: Well, can I ask you - you said that it's becoming more common. We always have to ask, like, is this climate change?

    MAHAN: Yeah, unfortunately, a big piece of it is climate change. When you do have a warming atmosphere and warming sea surface temperatures, then that is going to naturally change the way the atmosphere behaves. You think of the jet stream. The jet stream is the highway in which weather patterns traverse across the country. And over the last few summers, we've seen that jet stream become a little bit more to the north or diving down to the south of New England, which simply redirects storms away.

    RASCOE: So what you're saying, just in layman's terms, is that the atmosphere conditions are changing, and so the jet streams are not bringing the storms and the water precipitation that they usually would to Massachusetts. They're sending them elsewhere.

    MAHAN: That's absolutely correct. And also, with more heat in the atmosphere, it could hold more water vapor. And unfortunately, during the summer when we need precipitation the most, the storms that do come through are much weaker.

    RASCOE: So can you give us a sense of how unusual it is for it to be this dry right now?

    MAHAN: Well, you think of Massachusetts - I was looking at the data. This summer alone, Massachusetts saw anywhere between 2 to 7 inches of rain deficit from June 1. That has brought down 70% of stream flows and groundwater storages statewide, so that is a pretty significant drop. Northern New England as a whole - they saw the driest summer on record dating back nearly 130 years, with rainfall deficits over the summer reaching a foot, which is...

    RASCOE: Oh.

    MAHAN: ...Pretty astonishing."
